<p>An object oriented processor array includes a library (20) of functional objects which are instantiated by commands through a system object and which communicate via a high level language. The object oriented processor array may be embodied in hardware, software, or a combination of hardware and software. Each functional object may include a discrete hardware processor or may be embodied as a virtual processor within the operations of a single processor. In one embodiment, the object oriented processor array is formed on a single chip or on a single processor chip and an associated memory chip, pins may be assigned to each object via a high level command language. Methods and apparatus for allocating memory (38) to instantiated objects are disclosed with instantiated objects communicating directly with a script server which is programmed to react to data events generated by instantiated objects.</p> |
